Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to speak today to the contract DPW has entered into to set up the second Legal Aid office at the Centre Square Mall. Mr. Speaker, going by Minister Roland's answers to Mr. Ramsay's questions last Friday, it appears that Minister Roland is completely content with the situation that the proprietor who did not even meet the deadline was rewarded with a sole-source or, at best, negotiated contract, for what amounts to a maximum of a 15-year lease, in one of the most expensive retail spaces in the city, to open a second Legal Aid office.

Mr. Speaker, the Minister further states in the unedited Hansard, page 1756, that, "we don't put a lot of weight on who the clientele might be going into that space." Mr. Speaker, I must say to you, this is absolutely scandalous and unacceptable...
